What stays under control

Review the handoff before it goes live.

We turn the handoff into something you can review: which subscribers renew next, how payment methods move, and what customers see after launch.

We keep watching after the switch flips.

Old-app links, customer emails, duplicate billing risk, missed renewals, portal access, and storefront setup all deserve a final pass. The cleanup matters because that is where confidence comes from.

Migration questions

Know the risks before you move.

Short answers for the questions merchants usually ask first.

Can PayWhirl help migrate from another Shopify subscription app?

Yes. PayWhirl can help scope supported migrations from other Shopify subscription apps and build a plan before anything touches live subscribers.

Can PayWhirl help with Recharge, Appstle, Bold, Seal, Loop, or Skio?

Usually, yes. The exact path depends on your source app, payment provider, export data, and how your current subscription rules are set up.

Can PayWhirl help if we are moving to Shopify from another platform?

PayWhirl is built for Shopify. If you are moving from WooCommerce, BigCommerce, a custom site, or another platform, the first step is getting customers, products, and supported payment data into Shopify so PayWhirl can review what can be attached to subscriptions.

Is migration help included?

Yes. PayWhirl does not charge a separate migration-help fee for supported planning and guidance.

Will customers need to resubscribe?

In many supported migration paths, customer payment methods can be mapped so subscribers do not need to start over. We will help you understand what is possible before launch.

Do we need to rebuild every subscription plan manually?

Not usually. The migration plan starts by mapping your products, selling plans, frequencies, discounts, prepaid rules, and subscriber states so the PayWhirl setup matches what you already run.

How do you reduce double-billing or missed-renewal risk?

We plan the import timing, old-app shutdown, PayWhirl billing setup, and post-launch review together so the handoff is coordinated instead of improvised.

Can prepaid, paused, or fixed-cycle subscriptions be migrated?

Often, yes. Schedule-sensitive subscriptions need extra review, so we look at prepaid terms, paused states, anchor dates, and next billing dates before launch.

What payment methods can move?

Supported payment-method migration depends on your gateway, source app, and Shopify setup. We confirm payment-provider requirements early so you know whether customers may need to update payment details.

What data should we prepare before asking for help?

Bring your current app, payment provider, subscriber count, product and plan rules, prepaid or bundle details, discount rules, and target launch window. Rough details are enough to start.

Will our storefront and customer portal be ready before launch?

That is part of the review. PayWhirl helps you check the subscription widget, customer portal, account access, notifications, and storefront flow before the switch goes live.

Should we install PayWhirl before we know every migration detail?

Yes. Installing PayWhirl gives your team a place to review setup, features, and migration requirements before you commit to a launch date.
